After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317: Chapter 317: The Commander

A Space Superpower User, covered in bloody bite marks, pulled a small sedan out of his storage space.

But before he could get in, he was shoved aside.

"Get out of my way!"

The Gold Element Superpower User had covered his entire body in metal. Even so, bats clung to any exposed patch of his skin.

He scrambled and crawled into the car.

Others nearby tried to get into the car, but the Gold Element Superpower User shot them down without hesitation!

"Where are the keys?! Give me the keys!"

The Gold Element Superpower User shouted at the Space Superpower User on the ground.

However, the Space Superpower User had already been eaten alive. A bat had even crawled into his wide-open mouth.

"Something seems off about these bats," Nina Jacobs remarked as she watched the scene unfold.

’When are normal bats ever this ferocious?’

"Indeed. I’ve heard that the bats of Mornfell bite people, but not that they eat them." Chase Gallagher and the others agreed, also finding it strange.

"Please, let me in."

The Gold Element Superpower User, still covered in metal, finally noticed the group in the corner.

He knelt outside the Diamond Sand Cover and begged.

Seeing the people inside remain unmoved, he angrily formed a Gold Blade and tried to destroy the cover.

Despite looking like it was only a thin layer of fine sand, the Gold Blade’s attack was completely ineffective against the cover.

"Let you in? Just so you can cause trouble for us?" Adrian Shaw said coldly.

He had just seen this man kill several people for the slightest chance of survival.

Nina Jacobs had no intention of saving anyone from the very beginning.

The people outside were quickly devoured by the swarm of bats, leaving behind nothing but blood-stained skeletons.

Seeing that their "food" was gone, the bats turned their attention to the group in the corner.

They swarmed toward the Diamond Sand Cover all at once!

"Aargh!!"

Even though his body was encased in a layer of metal, the ferocious bats still managed to tear at the man’s flesh.

The outside of the Diamond Sand Cover was plastered with a dense layer of bats. Nina Jacobs looked up at them, a strange feeling stirring within her.

"This is too brutal, too disgusting." Jessica Vance could no longer bear to look at the bats’ sharp fangs, even though she knew Nina Jacobs’s sand cover was incredibly sturdy.

ZZZT!

Adrian Shaw coated the Diamond Sand Cover with his Thunder Element Superpower, and a portion of the bats instantly dropped to the ground.

"We can’t let them fly up," Adrian Shaw said. "Even though this cliff bottom is far from the Bishop Clan, it’ll be trouble if this many bats fly up and start hurting people."

However, before he could launch a second attack, the bats outside the cover, as if following some command, all flew back into the cave.

"What... what’s going on?"

The group watched the scene in shock.

"Do you think they realized they couldn’t get anything from us, so they left?" Jessica Vance’s intuition told her this was the case.

"There’s another possibility," Nina Jacobs said.

"What possibility?" Shirley Lucas immediately asked.

"Do you remember what those people who went in earlier said?"

Nina Jacobs had clearly heard one of them use "it" to describe what they saw.

Another had said, "The path ahead is blocked by that thing."

"In other words, they didn’t just see these bats. There must be something big in there too," Nina Jacobs said.

’Something big enough to block the path.’

’And the reason these smaller bats are so abnormally ferocious and their movements so coordinated is likely because they’re being commanded by a "big one" inside.’

"Commanded?"

A cold sweat broke out on everyone.

’Something that can command tens of thousands of bats at once?’

"Maybe we should just seal this place up..." Leo Hale said, feeling a sense of dread.

Besides, it was about to get dark.

"I’m afraid it’s too late. Bats are nocturnal."

Nina Jacobs’s Five Senses Enhancement could already pick up an unusual sound from within the cave.
